Macbook air 1gen screen backlight

Hi recently my macbooks airs screen went black. I can barely see anything.
I read on the internet that this is probably caused by lightbult or inverter board, but that information was on macbook or macbook pro, i couldn't find any information if its the same issue with macbook airs..

It's probably a hardware issue, but try resetting your parameter RAM: shut down, reboot while holding command-option-p-r (it helps if you have three hands), keep holding them down through two "bongs", then let up and see if it boots normally.

If not, make an appointment with the Genius bar. I'd expect your machine is out of warranty; if so you can have it completely refurbished for a surprisingly good price. Of course, if you still have AppleCare active, all's good, it'll be covered.
